Backless Dresses and Bottomless Shorts are Taking Over

Fierce cut-out fashion pieces have been popping up everywhere. From music videos to film premieres to runways, it would appear that though they may be lacking in sensibility, these ensembles certainly are a current phenomenon.

The cut-out design cult is on the rise for a very good reason. By removing a sliver (sometimes a very generous sliver) of fabric, a certain sensual vibe is evinced. At the same time, this is only a part of the overall look and as such, the modesty of the outfit is often maintained. The result is a look that combines seduction and eye-catching displays of fashion with a conservative undertone.
